An overall respectable last hurrah.......2006-04-12

This CD is like a reunion of the pioneers of Hip Hop. This album dropped with new tracks from the biggest names of early 80's Brooklyn. (Luckily, no Sugar Hill Gang here.) The First 3 tracks are definitely the hottest. Especially check out "Do It Again," Whodini's 5 minute history of hip hop.

Obviously, these aren't the landmark career defining songs for any of these artists. And I admit, taken in context, this CD being released in '94 would seem to be quite dated. However, considering I came across this CD for $2 at a used CD shop this past year (and it's available for $0.09 here on Amazon) that kind of removes that stigma. One can look at it as a decent to good collection of tracks from the legends of the industry.

"A poor come back from the pioneers of the movement"........2005-09-03

This compilation features the cream of the crop of the True-Skool Hip-Hop generation. It's a pity that they chose to want to make a come back on some current Hip-Hop b.s. Two tracks on this CD are called "REAL" and "KEEP IT REAL". Two songs with the same name and topic that a thousand other rappers used in the early 90's. The only dope songs are the ones by the Furious 5, but their not icredible songs either. But their all right. Nothing classic on this CD, but many wack songs from pioneering giants. A sad day for the True-Skool.
